It is said that each member of the firearms team is equipped with a firearm, which is no doubt the same as that each soldier is equipped with a sword and gun.
But it is said that the firecrackers haven't arrived yet, so let's start practicing something else first.
In Liu Xing's understanding, the soldiers should at least be familiar with the firecrackers and get used to the loud sound of the firecrackers. This can also be regarded as a combination of vision and courage to prepare for future actual combat drills with firecrackers.
However, Master Qianshi's order is very strange. The only training content is walking.
Every ten people are in a team, and ten teams are one hundred households. They line up and walk straight, diagonally, and around the bend! Moreover, Master Qian's request is also very simple, just walk in an orderly manner.
What kind of training method is this!?
Who can’t walk?
Probably the same as Liu Xing's idea. Many people thought the same way at the beginning, but once they really started practicing, everyone discovered that walking is indeed very simple. However, ten people and a hundred people advance and retreat together in an orderly manner.
, then it’s not that simple.
At this time, the small flags, general flags and other officers placed at the head and tail of each team play their role. They only need to ensure that the team's marching pace is uniform. Once someone
The formation was in disarray, and these officers immediately shouted loudly.
However, new passwords were soon issued. It is said that these were taught by the coaches. Following the simple commands of "go, stop, walk on the spot, turn around", each team finally walked.
It's starting to look good.
However, it is only for each team. When several teams or even hundreds of households gather together, the march becomes a mess.
At this time, drummers and trumpeters appeared from every household. The drums were not only an order to move forward, but also allowed the marchers to step on the drums. This made the whole team's steps inexplicably orderly, and
The orders of the officers between the squads are no longer effective in the range of hundreds or even hundreds of people. At this time, the sound of drums and trumpets of various rhythms, representing different meanings, began to command the entire group.
Hundreds of households marched.
For a whole month, Liu Xing didn't even touch a firecracker, he just practiced these things.
How should I put it, although this method of training soldiers is somewhat new, it is really strange. More importantly, he has no idea what the meaning of practicing this kind of walking is.
"It's not just you who are practicing, all the thousands of households and every hundred households are practicing!"
When Jiang Wan came to the firearms team again, Liu Xing finally found the opportunity and asked Jiang Wan his doubts. Compared with Mr. Qian who kept a straight face all day, he felt that Mr. Jiang was easier to talk to.
.
Jiang Wan looked at the familiar Baihu in front of him and smiled slightly: "The firearms team will be the main combat force of Nanhaiwei. People from other Baihu will practice their marching steps in order to be better in the battle formation.
It is to protect the firearms team, and you are practicing this marching pace so as not to disturb their rhythm and disrupt their formation!"
He said: "When everyone is familiar with the sounds of drums, trumpets, and various passwords, then fighting will be a simple matter. As firecrackers, you only need to follow the passwords you hear, move forward or
Just retreat, launch or reload, and leave the rest to me!"
"Of course we, old brothers, can trust Mr. Jiang!" Liu Xing laughed, rather embarrassed: "I don't doubt Mr. Jiang's ability!"
"Believe me, just practice hard. I promised your majesty that I will form an army within half a year. When the time comes, I will really pull the troops out. You must not embarrass me and make me lose face in front of your majesty!"
Liu Xing's face was full of emotion: "I will do my best to make Mr. Jiang look good!"
Smiling, Jiang Wan sent the hundred households in front of him away. He looked at Xu Caining, who had always had a straight face, with a smile: "How is life in the army? Do you still feel used to it? I heard that you haven't gone back this month. Do you want to go back?" Why don’t you go back and rest for a few days!?”
"Commander Labor makes you care about me. It feels so good to humble my position!" Xu Caining replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Jiang Wan waved his hand gently, and the guards around him gradually distanced themselves from him. Only then did Xu Caining raise his head: "Zhao Yuan has sent over a hundred fire guns. Are you here for this matter?"
"I won't interfere with your firearms camp's affairs!" Jiang Wan smiled and shook his head: "You and Irving have discussed the specific regulations on how to practice, and I have agreed to it. Then, how you do it is your business, but For more than a month, you haven't come home or come to me to complain. Although my soldiers are not arrogant and powerful soldiers, if they don't have the ability, I'm afraid they still have to be obedient and honest. It took a lot of effort!”
"I just came over to see you!"
"Oh, that's what you're talking about!" Xu Caining gave him a strange look: "I come from a military family, so I know a little bit about how to lead troops, and these soldiers are not bad at all, and they also listen to orders, compared to me. I said it’s easier to take care of the soldiers in other guard posts!”
"Then I'm relieved!" Jiang Wan smiled: "You'd better go home. The steward in your house is named Zhou Kun. He has come to see you several times, but he hesitated and refused to say anything. When I came out, I was blocked outside the guardhouse and couldn't get in!"
He looked at Xu Caining: "Why don't you go back and take a look?"
"Oh!" Xu Caining nodded and said with a smile: "So you are here for this matter. Thank you very much. I will go and have a look. I guess there is something over there in Qingyuan Building that they want to ask me, but Don’t worry, I still understand the rules in the army, and I will definitely be back after nightfall!”
"What are you telling me about the rules in the army? You are the commander of the guards!" Jiang Wan was a little dumbfounded: "It's not wartime. Even Xu Zhenfu can't control your comings and goings. However, if you bring When people enter or exit the guardhouse, it is best to inform Xu Zhenfu, after all, rules are rules and face is face!"
Jiang Wan shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back. Several officers greeted him from a distance. Jiang Wan smiled and said something to the officers.
Looking at the situation in front of her, Xu Caining suddenly felt a little confused. During the past month or so in Nanhaiwei, everything she saw and heard about Jiang Wan did not seem to be what she thought before.
Jiang Wan seems to really know a little bit about leading troops.
However, in her opinion, Jiang Wan still led the troops in this way, which was a little more lenient. You must know that the principle of kindness is not to lead the troops, but it has never been easy through the ages. If he treats these soldiers and officers too leniently, he will have to treat these soldiers and officers too leniently in the future. When these people are sent to death to kill the enemy, the general may not be able to bear it.
Humph! She, Xu Caining, would never make such a low-level mistake.
